Anything I wanted to do and achieve has not been influential in my life, but my failures have.

I myself got married at a very young age. It has always intrigued me because marriage is very synthetic in an otherwise natural world.

Usually, you lose interest in a story beyond a certain point. But with Highway, there was something very subtle, yet something very influential. I intended Highway to be the first film that I ever made. Didnt happen.

The story of 'Highway' is completely about travel. It is about the fascination of travel to an extent that I don't want to even reach the destination and also being away from society gives you a certain view of the society, so that was the intention of the film.

My father did irrigation jobs, and I would sometimes accompany him, and that gave me a taste of what was going on in the innards of India.

On the contrary Deepika feels inferior to other people I was surprised when I realised it. She is straightforward & very giving

I have always tried to make profitable films because people's offices shut down if films fail, and I will do everything to avoid that.
